The trust factor..

~ What makes you allowing strange electrician/ plumber/ carpenter into your house?
~ What makes you give your house keys to your maid you’ve known for months?
~ What makes you go to places in a strange cab, strange city?
~ How do you believe that stranger you’ve just asked direction from?
~ What makes you give yourself in the hands of a strange man who’ll rip open your body for that operation?
~ What makes you deposit all your money into a bank?
~ What gives to the strength to enter into matrimony with a strange man, with a few recommendations?
~ What give you the courage to cross the road during heavy traffic?

A thousand such questions run through my mind and the only answer I get from within myself is: TRUST, my trust in fellow humans, my trust in God, and somewhere in myself too.

And people tell me I don’t trust easily, crap!!

Shruti said...

Kenny said...

I'd have to say It's more of an instinct too...going with what that inner voice tells u..i don't think i'd trust anybody totally on any of the cases mentioned ;)

Sunil said...

Yes! to trust is human.
Sometimes people tend to term ones curiosity as mistrust.

Have a nice time. :)

i think its instinct too... just that little voice that can sometimes be irritating but should be given a lot of imporrtance too... :)

Impressionist said...

hehe! people are lying when they say they dont trust easily!
I remember reading a quote somewhere, it goes like this.. "You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough."

Trust, Gut feel, instincts.. blah blah..

I guess trust is perhaps a step further from the usual, or something like it.

Sam said...

Busy Writer, Perhaps..

Shruti, Lols..yeh, you do!! ;)

Kenny, I dunno, but I somehow do..

Sunil, You got it right!! :)

Bubbles, I know, most of the decisions in my life are instinctive and where people are concerned, I go by my gut feeling.. that inner voice sure can't be ignored!!

Impressionist, Bullseye!! :D

Pointblank, Hey, I LOVE the quote too!! :)

J, What, couldn't get you??

You kno...its mostly born out of instinct, but there is another element. If u dont trust them all, life would really be inconvenient and u'll hafta manage a lot of stuff on ur own ryt?
so its not like yo have too much choice. But yea...its mostly instinct that tells you that u can go ahead with trustin people.
